Fox Soccer has been promoting this Sunday Premier League games as "Epic Sunday,'' for once this is not over hype. The doubleheader of Manchester City vs. Spurs and Manchester United vs. Arsenal will go a long way toward telling us who will be lifting the trophy in May.
A City win in the early game and a Arsenal win in the late game could all but end the title race.

Evolution of a kit: Bethlehem Steel FC

The recent release of the designs for the new Philadelphia Union home and away kits got me thinking about the evolution of the kit designs of other teams in Philadelphia soccer history. Today, the regular release of new jerseys is an important part of the marketing of a professional team, not to mention a lucrative source of revenue.

Time to start the annual end of the year process of lists. Over the next couple of weeks we'll review end of the year of posts and some of the top business stories of the year. We thought it makes sense to start by looking back a year to the end of 2010 at some of the top business stories from that year.

However, with the Colorado/Columbus match not scheduled to be televised nationally, MLS smartly made the match available to all fans via the website.

Broadcasting info is shaky, the only tv station that carries CC games in the US, FSC, is showing Aldershot-Manches16er United. Hopefully a stream will be available.

More then a week ago, Fox tried something new and they were rewarded for it. After showing the Manchester United vs. Chelsea game live on FSC, the network decided to show the game on their regular Fox stations after the local NFL was over.
In Philly it was during the 1 p.m., while in other cities it was the 4 p.

Can Thierry Henry and the Red Bulls rebound against Portland? (Getty Images)

The weekend slate is finally here, it is Friday and that means it is Soccer Night In America. Okay, I have to admit I have trouble typing that without a little bit of a laugh. For one that show title will only last a year since FSC or Fox Soccer since MLS is moving to NBC next season.

This weekend should be a great one for football but in a less traditional way. There are no Manchester United/Chelsea or Barcelona/Real Madrid matches going on but there are some matches in other countries that might be considered the local equivalent at the moment. The three in particular that I will have my eye on are Porto/Benfica on Friday, Shakhtar Donetsk/Dynamo Kyiv on Saturday and Twente/Ajax, also on Saturday.

Unlike last weekend, this weekend is just chock full of potentially exciting matches all up and down the schedule. In fact, Roma at Inter Milan and Bayern Munich at Schalke 04 are just a pair of matches that highlight the list of matches that didn't even qualify for the Top Five Matches of the Week list.

Fortunately, now that the strikes are over, we finally have a full slate of action in world football, featuring the return of the Italian Serie A to the television stage. At this point, for the first time in a long time, all of the major domestic leagues in the world are in action at the same time.

It's an extremely light weekend on television this week in the United States, unless you count ESPN3 (which isn't really television) because it's mostly international action and most of those matches are going on at the same time (Friday, 2:45 EDT). Therefore, we are foregoing our Top Five Matches of the Weekend until next week while we work on the Monthly International Rankings and watch a little international football.

First it looked like the Spanish clubs weren't going to play, but now they are. And then it looked like the Italian clubs were going to play, but not maybe they'll go on strike. It's really difficult to tell what's going on from one day to another, but we're going ahead as if everybody is playing this weekend because that's the way I like it.

I know a secondary Major League Soccer television package is not a big deal, but for NBC/Comcast it shows that they are ready to get involved in all sports.
On Tuesday Major League Soccer announced games will be televised by NBC's networks starting next season, doubling the number of homes that dozens of games will be available in.

NBC Replaces Fox Soccer As MLS's Main TV Partner

It's obviously too early to say just how huge this is for MLS, but it's clearly a step in the right direction. Fox Soccer never treated MLS like a property they really wanted, and NBC seems ready to really put some energy into making this work. It also can't be bad that NBC Sports Network -- which is currently called Versus -- is more widely available than FSC, and usually does not require a special subscription.

MLS officially signs broadcast deal with NBC, FSC OUT!

Amazing news coming out of MLS HQ this morning as the league appears to have signed a deal with NBC for the next few years.

The deal, as I know it right now is, that 43 games will be broadcast on Versus (to be named NBC Sports soon) with 6 games carried on NBC prime.

As we do every so often, here is a quick look at some of the promotional efforts going on around Major League Soccer. We'll start in Colorado, where the Rapids are hosting the nationally televised Friday night game on FSC. For that match, the Rapids are continuing their"Lads Night Out" promotion that was so popular last year.

As much as I hate my birthday (and have since I turned 21), I'm actually publicly acknowledging it this year for some reason. A moment of weakness, most likely.
So, with a lack of content worth scribbling about – at least until tomorrow's first friendly against Guangzhou (8am on FSC in the US) – I thought I'd post a self-indulgent infographic showing my age relative to Liverpool's squad from the season before.

Grant Wahl's tweet of the Gold Cup television numbers has been making the rounds:
Wahl smartly wonders why the game wasn't shown on the main Fox network, and relegated to FSC. Univision made up the vast majority of those viewing numbers.
In any case, this is further evidence that soccer's American identity is solidly Hispanic, which, in a perfect world, would make it no less American, but America being America of course it does.

1. Bob Bradley's lineup will look a lot like the one we saw against Panama, with a couple of exceptions. While it would be ideal to start Clint Dempsey up top, the decision is really between Juan Agudelo and Sacha Kljestan. Since Sacha had a fairly bad game against Panama, we're going to say Juan gets the nod.

What do you want from your national team?
Wins, sure. But you both want more than just wins...and less. You want your team to play beautifully, of course, while winning.
But every fan of every team wants that. I think national team fans want their team to represent them, more than a mere club does.
